    Have you been x rayed or had a ct or MRI scan to exclude your fears?  Vitamin D deficiency can cause bone and joint pain .Also Vit B12 deficiency.  Take care

      no i never did x ray or MRI to my legs as my GP thought that it is most likely vitamin deficiency ...As she said if it was anything serious if you take in consideration that i have this for a long time i wouldnt be able to run or walk properly and i would have fractures as my bones would be weak and she said that blood tests would show that....However i plan on doing X-ray next week even all are saying that i shouldnt...Thanks for your reply

    I would recommend visiting a chiropractor as this may be something they have experienced before and could help you with the pain with ongoing treatment. I always used to be worried about my right knee as it cracks all the time but it is just a part of my anatomy, as my chiropractor assured me smile

      Hi again Cyril

      You need to calm down because you are driving ourself mad with worry. There are several reasons for your signs and symptoms so logically speaking why cancer?

      ​I have had ovarian cancer and there is a link to bone cancer even many decades later. I cannot allow the thought of what may never be wreck my life.

      You need to devise a plan and it looks now that you have. Firstly the dr can do Tumour markers and order x rays to allay you acute anxiety.

      You could have osteoporosis which is painful. You may have a metabolic bone disease but which is Treatable. It does NOT have to be cancer!! 

      I think that being told if it was anything serious you would have been hospitalised by now whilst intended to reassure you has backfired. The dr can help you and I am sure all you ned to do is to see him or her asap and explain as calmly as possible that you are concerned and can he or she please send you for some tests.
